Landlord finds Redford man living with decomposing corpse, woman dead for five months

Friday, April 26, 2013

Redford Township resident Annie Marquis’ neighbors at Long’s Mobile Home Court hadn’t seen her for months, and they were worried about her. She was months behind in her rent, and when the manager went to evict her, a shocking discovery was made.

Fox 2 reports that a 64-year-old man who had been living with Marquis answered the door like everything was fine. The manager looked inside the home and found the woman’s decomposing body on the sofa bed. According to the medical examiner’s office, Marquis, who died of natural causes, had been dead since last November.

Fox 2 reports that the 64-year-old had been living with her dead body and off of her money. Police arrested him and say he will be charged Friday with financial fraud and not reporting a dead body.
